Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Corporate Invasions of Privacy
Adopted by the CCAR at the 90th Annual Convention of
the Central Conference of American Rabbis
Phoenix, Arizona, March 26-29, 1979
Whereas,
many corporations engage in practices that violate the rights of privacy of their
employees by administering pre-employment tests that intrude into their financial
situation, personal habits,. criminal record and family relationships; and. many
corporations conduct locker searches, package checks, electrical surveillance and personality
tests; we deplore these corporate invasions of the individual’s right to privacy
and urge that the Congress conduct an investigation of these unfortunate practices
with a view to enacting remedial legislation.
